Eraser (album)

Eraser is the second studio album by American alternative hip hop duo The Knux, released September 27, 2011, on Cherrytree and Interscope Records. The album was preceded by the release of two singles, the first being "She's So Up", followed by "Run" featuring Kid Cudi. Much like their debut effort Remind Me in 3 Days... (2008), the album's production was handled entirely by The Knux themselves, however unlike their debut, it features several guest appearances, including Natalia Kills, Jack Davey, Blake Miller and Kid Cudi.

Background

After spending most of 2009 touring to promote their debut album (Remind Me in 3 Days), 2010 had The Knux back in the studio working on their sophomore release. The album was initially to be released on June 21, 2011 but was pushed back to September. They recorded the album with Robert Orton who has handled production duties on albums by Police and Lady Gaga.

In April 2011, in an interview with Consequence of Sound, brothers Krispy and Joey talked about how Eraser will reshape their image: "With this album, we want to take those preconceived notions and shatter and erase them," eldest brother Krispy says. "This albums sums up everything we want to do. To transcend where we are and to smash everything wide open and make the kind of record that has that big sound we have live. It’s had hitting as shit and we keep the mayhem going and keep it free-flowing." Despite that chaotic nature, Joey insists the album begins where the last album left off and deliver one cohesive message, stating, "Every song has its own story, so everything ties into each other." Krispy went on to describe the album as "Heavy, heavy; it’s sexy," Krispy insists. "Even those don’t that like certain rock bands like that sexiness of certain rock bands. This album’s got that ’70s feel, but its very modern and straight-forward."

Album

Albums of recorded music were developed in the early 20th century, first as books of individual 78rpm records, then from 1948 as vinyl LP records played at 33 ¹⁄₃ rpm. Vinyl LPs are still issued, though in the 21st century albums sales have mostly focused on compact disc (CD) and MP3 formats. The audio cassette was a format used in the late 1970s through to the 1990s alongside vinyl.

An album may be recorded in a recording studio (fixed or mobile), in a concert venue, at home, in the field, or a mix of places. Recording may take a few hours to several years to complete, usually in several takes with different parts recorded separately, and then brought or "mixed" together. Recordings that are done in one take without overdubbing are termed "live", even when done in a studio. Studios are built to absorb sound, eliminating reverberation, so as to assist in mixing different takes; other locations, such as concert venues and some "live rooms", allow for reverberation, which creates a "live" sound. The majority of studio recordings contain an abundance of editing, sound effects, voice adjustments, etc. With modern recording technology, musicians can be recorded in separate rooms or at separate times while listening to the other parts using headphones; with each part recorded as a separate track.
